“By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches”
Proverbs 24:3-4
December was unusually warm here in Northeast Alabama, complete with wearing a short sleeved shirt on Christmas! But January is swinging the pendulum and we have found ourselves with below freezing temps the past few days! I guess you could say winter made a fashionably late entrance this year!
January makes me think of cozy rooms, crackling fires, stack of books, and a mug of hot chocolate…with whipped cream on top, of course! With my mind on all things warm and cozy, I thought it would be temperature appropriate to share rooms that invite you in and wrap you in warmth! You’ll notice a common denominator in each room…a fireplace with the glow of logs burning…it doesn’t get much cozier than that! Make yourself a cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate and sit down and enjoy!

This is my idea of cozy…crackling fire, leather bound books, comfy seating, coffered ceiling! I could stay here for a while!
Elegance with lovely lighting and art, but very welcoming!
A pair of leather chairs, stone fireplace, and natural light create a cozy ambiance!
An English room with period furniture and sparkling chandeliers is still warm and inviting!
A French chateau (obviously out of most of our price range) exudes a cozy feel with its antique mantel!
A rustic room with large windows and plenty of charm!
I love pattern and this room provides plenty with the large tapestry, window treatments, upholstered chairs, and the oriental rug!
A sitting area within a kitchen is perfect for relaxing!
A charming room with layers of texture and color!
Very chic, but still welcoming!
Call me when spring arrives!
Light-filled space!
Blue and white remain timeless!
A cozy porch!
A small and peaceful space for reading in front of the warm fire!
Even a Palm Beach residence has a cozy fire!
White-washed cypress beams and a fireplace made from local stone creates the perfect family room in Tennessee!
A roaring fire takes center stage in this home, furnished with a nubby cream sofa!
A pair of lanterns along with a stone fireplace and plenty of patterns brings warmth to the white walls and ceiling!
A gorgeous room, love everything about it!

The first photo is my favorite! So cozy!
Thanks, Carol! I also love the first picture! Have a lovely weekend!
waaw. alla are so nice. My favorite style
Enjoyed the tour with so many lovely rooms. I think the first picture and number 11 are my favorites…. we’re really into that look up here in fox hunting territory. I also loved the blue and white room with coastal décor…perfect, classy look for that area. Thanks for sharing.
Bobbi, thanks so much! You picked my two favorites! Wishing you a lovely week!
I would have a fireplace in every room of my home if I could. Lovely….
Kim, I agree with you, a fireplace in every room would be perfect! Have a great weekend!
Wow! What beautiful rooms! I love the spot-lighted equine picture over the fireplace and the shelves loaded with books in the second picture. That one’s my favorite. 🙂
Kim, the first one had me with the painting! Thanks so much and have a great week-end!
Well the first three had me and then more of them later on. I don’t know that I can pick one!
Liz, thanks so much, I can’t really choose one myself! Funny thing, I was just commenting on your beautiful plate rack when I got a notice that you had left me a comment! Great minds working together, I guess! Have a lovely weekend!
Hi Pam…love the idea of a stone fireplace on a porch…but I’ve also ALWAYS wanted one in my kitchen as well. Can you have too many fireplaces? I don’t think so.
Thanks for the fantastic round up and hope you have a wonderful week.
Thanks so much! I would love a fireplace in the kitchen! Have a lovely week! Blessings,
Pam
So many gorgeous spaces, I LOVE the porch!
Thanks so much for sharing at AMAZE ME MONDAY!

Hi Pam, each and every room was so inviting and cozy. Like you I loved all the patterns and textures. Thanks for sharing on this cold January day.
Thanks so much, Sandy! Fireplaces provide so much ambiance in a room!
Hi Pam, thanks for sharing these lovely photos! I loved all of the different styles:)
Thanks so much, Christine! Happy Tuesday to you!
Pam,
love the idea of a fireplace in the library, what’s better then cozying up with a good book and a fire! Also loved the fireplace on the porch, beautiful!
Visiting from Jann’s party.
Rebecca
So glad you are visiting and please come back, Rebecca! I agree with you, a fireplace in a library is perfect! Happy weekend!
I love the mantels, they’re all great! I specially like the first one as it is similar to ours, in a smaller scale.
Enjoy your weekend.
FABBY
Fabby, thanks so much. A fireplace add so much ambiance to a room! Have a lovely week!
I love our little cottage, but I have always thought that a library wall would be wonderful.
Beautiful inspirational shots!
Thanks for sharing your cup!
As much as I dream of off whites, beige and tapes I am drawn to A room of texture and color.
I love color and texture! Happy weekend!
I love the portrait of the boy in the tree; can’t wait for my grandchildren to be old enough to do that. I’ll take a photo and have something done with it! Thanks!
Hi Karen, I am glad you enjoyed!
The rooms are all beautiful, elegant and yet warm, cozy and inviting.
Traditional decorating will never be replaced with a lot of what is “IN” today.
This was a great display of photos of timeless rooms.
Thank you
Beautiful rooms! also, love your scripture from Proverbs. the entire chapter is enlightening.
